Preparación

1. 1

   If you bought a sponge cake for the base, then you can go straight away to step 11

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 180 °C

3. 3

   Beat the eggs with the sugar, salt and vanilla sugar for about 6 minutes until frothy. The egg mass should double in volume over time. The mass is also quite light.

4. 4

   Mix the flour with the baking powder and sift over the egg mixture.

5. 5

   Carefully fold in the flour

6. 6

   Line the bottom of a spring form pan with baking paper—please do not grease the edge! Otherwise, the biscuit won’t rise properly

7. 7

   Put the dough in the spring form pan and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes.

8. 8

   Make a toothpick test

9. 9

   Let the sponge cake cool for 5 minutes and then loosen the sponge cake along the edge of the spring form pan with a knife.

10. 10

    Place onto a wire rack and let cool down completely.

11. 11

    Place the sponge biscuit on a cake stand and place a cake ring around it.

    You can also use a round cake pan with a removable bottom as an alternative

13. 13

    Soak the gelatin in cold water

14. 14

    In a big bowl, mix together the quark with orange juice and zest, sugar and the vanilla extract.

15. 15

    In a separate bowl, whisk the cream until it is thickened. Gently fold the whipped cream under the quark mixture.

16. 16

    Drench the gelatin and place it in a small pot on medium heat to melt slowly.

17. 17

    Now here comes a trick and you gotta be quick!

18. 18

    When the gelatin is runny, take a spoon full of the quark mixture and quickly stir it in the gelatin. Then pour the mixture in the quark mixture and fold it in.

19. 19

    Spread the quark mass slowly and evenly on the sponge biscuit and place it in the fridge for one hour.

20. 20

    In the meantime, wash and drain the strawberries. Remove the stem and cut them in half.

21. 21

    Arrange the strawberries on the cake. In the meantime, dissolve the cake glaze as per the instructions on the packet and pour it gently over the cake.

22. 22

    Place the cake again in the fridge to chill until served.
